INSTRUCTIONAL CONTINUITY PLAN (ICP)
INTRODUCTION
Please note this document is fluid and may change as information is acquired from the Florida Department of
Education.

If it becomes necessary to close one or more schools for emergency situations, Polk County Public Schools will make
every effort to provide continued educational opportunities for students. The district will utilize online content and
digital resources for grades PK-12 and additional paper-based opportunities in select grades. Teachers may implement
teacher-created or district-developed, or a combination, of digital and/or paper-based lessons to meet the needs of
their diverse students and courses. Distance Learning is expected for grades K-5. Core courses through E2020 will be
available as a digital opportunity for grades 6-12. Instructional resources for elective areas have also been selected to
maximize learning opportunities in the event of extended school closures. Internet-accessible devices may be deployed
on a prioritized need based on availability of devices.

As student instruction is provided, the district will make every effort to provide special education and related services to
students in accordance with a students’ individualized education program (IEP) or Section 504 plans. There may be
exceptional circumstances that could affect how a particular service is provided.

All students have access to many accommodations that naturally occur in the virtual setting. Please note that some
accommodations identified in student Individual Education Plans (IEPs) or Section 504 Plans may not be possible to
implement in the online educational setting. School districts have been given flexibility for the remainder of the school
year to provide alternative services or delay services, in coordination with a student’s parents and IEP
team. Students/families are encouraged to communicate with their teachers to determine whether the virtual
educational environment can appropriately meet the needs of the student.

Once school resumes to a routine schedule, schools will return to providing special education and related services to
students with disabilities in accordance with the student’s IEP or 504 plan. If a student has not received services for an
extended period of time, the student’s IEP Team, or appropriate personnel under Section 504, will make case-by-case
determinations regarding the extent of services missed and the necessity of applicable make-up services.

This Instructional Continuity Plan (ICP) includes the Instructional Plan Overview and process for device deployment. The
Instructional Plan Overview provides information about core and supplemental instructional resources by grade level,
content area, and format. The device deployment section provides information on how devices may be deployed to
increase student access to electronic curriculum during school closures.

The district website contains additional information for parents and students. The website is located at
polkschoolsfl.com.

This document also contains planning information for school administrators. Planning details include steps
administration should implement immediately upon receiving notification of school closures.

INSTRUCTIONAL CONTINUITY PLAN (ICP)
INSTRUCTIONAL PLAN OVERVIEW

                                Students will have access to digital materials and instructional activities to
                                 support distance learning during the time schools are closed.
                                Teachers may implement teacher-created or district-developed, or a
                                 combination, of digital and/or paper-based lessons to meet the needs of
                                 their diverse students and courses.
                                Digital instructional resources are separated into two classifications: core
                                 materials and supplemental materials. Both types of resources support
                                 distance learning when a school is closed. Core materials provide standards-
                                 based activities. Supplemental materials support learning related to the core
                                 materials.
                                Distance learning activities are expected for students in grades PreK-5. Core
                                 courses through E2020 are available for students in core courses in grades 6-
              Content            12. ** Please note: the E2020 icon and link may not be visible through
              Delivery           ClassLink until the week of March 30th.
                                Paper-based lessons will be made available to students. If students are in
                                 school when a school closure is announced, paper-based lessons may be
                                 distributed to students prior to their dismissal and prior to the school
                                 closure. If students are not in session when school closures are announced,
                                 paper-based lessons will be made available online at
                                 www.polkschoolsfl.com. Paper-based lessons will be updated periodically
                                 throughout extended closures.
                                Trained instructional staff members may be contacted to provide additional
                                 support to Polk Virtual.
                                Students enrolled in Eckerd Connects Day Treatment, Florida Virtual, Fresh
                                 Start, INVO Impact, and Polk Virtual should continue with current virtual
                                 coursework.

                                District students (non-charter) in grades K-12 will be surveyed to
                                 determine if students have access to internet-accessible devices at home
                                 to access digital instructional activities.
                                Students may access ClassLink for Students through the Students section
                                 of the Polk County Public School website: www.polkschoolsfl.com. Please
                                 see the section below for a description of ClassLink and the available
              Device             resources through ClassLink.
                                Schools may check out mobile devices to students based on
                                 prioritized need and availability of devices.
              Deployment
                                Schools may use their current inventory of mobile devices,
                                 including devices in carts, to serve students.
                                Mobile devices must be checked out using Destiny.

What is ClassLink?

 ClassLink is the district Single Sign-on (SSP) that is used by students and staff to access digital
 curriculum/resource sites that are SSO capable. This eliminates the need for a user to remember
 multiple usernames and passwords.

                                               Student Technology Survey

Dear parent/guardian:

Polk County Public Schools is conducting a student technology survey. The survey will help us to provide educational
services to students across the county in the rare event of a school closure due to weather or other emergency
circumstances. If schools should close, Polk County Public Schools has a comprehensive plan to provide quality
educational services to students. This plan will include online lessons and paper-based lessons. However, we realize that
some students may not have access at home to a personal or district-issued device (computer, laptop, or tablet).
Therefore, part of the district's planning efforts is to determine how many of our students need technology at home for
instruction to continue. Your participation in this survey will help us prepare for such an event. Please answer the four
questions below and return the survey to your school no later than March 19, 2020, or complete the online survey here:
polkschoolsfl.com/survey.

Please only complete one survey or the other so that we will have an accurate count.

Please list the students, grade level and student number* at this school:

*(not required for completion)

Do you have internet service in your home?

Yes or No

Does your child have access to one or more computers (desktop, laptop, or tablet) at home to complete assignments?

Encuesta de Tecnología Estudiantil

Estimados padres y/o guardianes,

Las Escuelas Públicas del Condado de Polk están conduciendo una encuesta de tecnología estudiantil. Esta encuesta nos
ayudará a proveer los servicios educativos a lo largo de nuestro condado en eventualidades inusuales tales como el
cierre de escuelas debido al mal tiempo u otras circunstancias de emergencia. Si las escuelas cerraran, las Escuelas
Públicas del Condado de Polk tendrían un plan comprensivo para proveer servicios educativos de calidad a nuestros
estudiantes. Este plan incluiría lecciones en línea y/o impresas. No obstante, hemos notado que algunos de nuestros
estudiantes podrían no tener acceso en sus hogares a un dispositivo personal o del distrito (computadora, laptop o
tableta); Por lo tanto, parte de los esfuerzos de nuestro distrito es determinar cuántos de nuestros estudiantes
necesitan la tecnología en sus hogares para que la enseñanza continúe. Su participación en esta encuesta nos ayudará a
prepararnos para tal evento. Por favor, conteste las cuatro preguntas en la parte de abajo y regrese la encuesta a la
escuela correspondiente antes del 19 de marzo del 2020, o complete la versión en línea aquí polkschoolsfl.com/survey.

Favor de completar cualquiera de las dos encuestas para asegurarnos de tener un conteo certero.

Favor de indicar el nombre de los estudiantes, el grado, el número de estudiante* en esta escuela:

*(No se requiere el número de estudiante para completar la encuesta)

¿Tiene servicio de internet en su casa?

Si o No

¿Su hijo tiene acceso a una o más computadoras (desktop, laptop, o tableta) en casa para completar sus tareas?
